Google Custom Search Engine

Follow
NOTE: As of April 2018, Google is discontinuing Google Site Search, the paid, ad-free version of Google CSE. Metro Publisher has therefore implemented our own native search engine for searches within your website.
For guidelines on how to opt in, please visit the following support article: Metro Publisher Native Search Tool.

 

For site wide searching, you can use Google's Custom Search Engine™ in Metro Publisher. To activate the search, you just need to get your unique Google Custom Search ID and paste it into Metro Publisher's corresponding 3rd Party settings page.

If you don't already have a CSE account, you can get one here: http://www.google.com/cse

If you have an account, here is how to set up the site search:

1. Create a New Search Engine with Google CSE

1. Log in to your Google CSE account and create a new CSE Search Engine. Be sure to add the URL for your website.
